He won't ship to the USA.  Go ahead, ask him.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I bet I could get someone to ship it though.  Wondering what it might cost, and/or how it compares to sharkskinz stuff.

Opinions on the color(s) please!  Swingarm is done in matching metallic gunmetal like the frame.  Looks kinda flat in the garage, but has a good bit of shine out in the sun.  Wheels are same gloss (~50%) as the side cases.

:)

Perhaps some bodywork, mind checking into what it might cost to ship for me?

Lemme know what you think, I'm leaning towards masking it back up and re-doing it :(

I guess I'd have to see how it goes with everything else, but just hanging out in the frame I like the color of the cases.

I'd want in on that purchase too.  I want a set of their bikini fairings for the SS and their aluminum breather.

Shipping is 'spensive.

Not through APO.   ;D

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Minor update:

Still waiting on a bunch of little bits.  I need the sight-glass window.  Also need to either leave the studs in, or wait till the end of the month for the APE studs. 

Front end is on it now, 999 masters, billet tops and levers, and have the wiring ran. 

This weekend was take it easy and build a fire-pit day.  Hopefully the wheels I bought early last week will show up soon, so I can make it into a roller at least. 

Can you install studs while the motor is bolted in the frame?

Yes, but you won't be able to get the vertical head on unless you are rolling the case over.

What are the dims for the ARP studs?

Meant APE studs.  CACycleworks says end of the month until they come in :(

Not sure on the dimensions.  Tempted to get it together as it is, but I figure it's already 3 weeks behind, whats another 2.

Brand new wheels are here :D

Ordering body-work bits I need from Kaemna.

Can't actually assemble anything until the APE studs arrive at CA-Cycleworks...and then from there to me. 

Gathering parts is fun, and frustrating.  I know there will be little bits an pieces that I didn't get and won't know about them until I'm right in the middle of it.

CA-cycleworks says the studs will ship out on Friday.  Next weekend is "American Supercamp" here in GA, but I'll get done what I can before hand.

Still waiting to hear on a time frame for the RW bodywork, but the rest ought to come together quickly now :)

I think your engine looks amazing.  I wouldn't change a thing.
